A CHRISTMAS STORY.

Old Chris started out stormy night
With his new fur coat all buttoned up tight
To find place 10 leave tho things
Which he at Christmas time always brings,
To give 10 us all, both young and old,
With his best wishes and love untold.
The load he packed for this dark, cold ride.
Was made mp OF things needed on every side
The many things that baby needs to-day
He first put away in the back OF his sleigh.
Next 10 these bundles, with many shoves,
He put hoods, mittens, eggins, caps and gloves
For the little folks that mamma can send
To the store, he carefully placed at one end
OF his load, some purses, very pretty and small
Then thinking that he must remember all,
He made that night, for the older people
A load built high like church steepe.
Into every Granny and chink in his sleigh
He then put a "hangchif," as the little ones say
Cheap ones and nice ones, little and large,
And perfumes for all Then over his charge
He carefully tucked his blankets 30 queer,
And quickly harnesscd his span OF reindeer
They went with all tho speed OF the wind,
The very best place in this County TO find
For these things. In Norway, right on Main street.
Corner Of Cottage. these chargers 20 fleet
Stood still, and Old Chris since,
Leaves useful presents with
